Sweepy, it seems that you really want to screw up this game.

Nah, DAF is unlikely to win but I'd like it to atleast have a chance against the Bond theme.

What M722 means, Sweepy, is that you can ONLY VOTE ONCE a day - and you have already voted once.

Well could have told you that was going to happen. The first Bond theme ever, the most Bondian of all and the most reused as well was obviously going to win this game. The only thing I can't grasp is why YOLT and GE are so low on the list, I think those are great Bond themes. I really can't complain though considering that all 3 of Shirley Bassey's are in the top ten.B-)

youknowmyname

well, there ya go. I thought I might get one more vote in, but c'est la...it is not so. cheers to the Bond theme {[] it's iconic, it's everything Bond is and it deserves it. I am glad to see that OHMSS made it in there at numero two and that WHATTITW was near the top as well. Here's to all Bond music! -{

...so there we have it. Only two without a John Barry connection in the top sixteen, and those two were Oscar-nominated huge international hits which have become standards. DAD at the bottom of the list, which is of course no surprise. Equally no surprise is that Shirley Bassey has all of her songs in the top ten including the highest-placed vocal number- she is truly the musical Voice Of Bond Films.

And of course, the James Bond Theme is the number one- as it should be. More words have been said over this piece of music than any other film music ever whether on paper, Internet, TV/radio, or in court. However, to cite from a little known film called Playing By Heart- having music by John Barry and starring Sean Connery it's at least of tangential relevance- "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture" (said by pianist/composer Clara Schumann in the 19th Century and paraphrased in that film). So I'll say only this:

The cinema goes dark. A row of white circles marches across the blackness of the screen moving from left to right. A well-dressed man walks from right to left then spins and draws a gun, firing directly at the audience as the circles freeze on him. We suddenly realise we're looking down a gunbarrel...

There's only one piece of music I want to be listening to at this point. :007)

Well, there's very little or no school at this time of year- so I can't threaten him upstairs with "Go to bed, you've got school tomorrow" as usual. (Sudden flashback to my dad saying those exact same words to me...)
